Associated Press Dispatches to the Herald
LOUISVILLE. August 4. - Seventy
eight counties reported so far, leaving
forty-one to report, average Repub-
lican gain per county, from reports so
far received, of 1926. On the same
ratio the net Republican gain of the
whole State will be 1868. This will
leave a majority for Buckner. The
gross Republican gain, so far as
heard from, is $4,000. Six counties
show "a Democratic gain of $50.
THE CoURIER's ACCOUNT.
The Comier-JOurnal has reports
from "A counties out of 119. These
cast II per cent. of the entire State in
1884, when Cleveland's majority was
"a ,S39. In these counties the reduc-
tion of Cleveland's vote has been
1929. Applying the same rate to the
remaining counties, the reduction in
Buckner's vote will be 1888. This
will leave Democratic majority of
1851. The returns during the past
twenty-four hours show that the Re-
publicans do not maintain their
previous gain. =.

Protesting Surveyors.

SAN Francisco, August 4.-Demur-
rers were filed by the attorneys de-
tending Benson to-day in the United
States Circuit Court, and the indict-
ments for perjury and conspiracy were
both dealt with. The reasons given
are that the first count does not charge
offense and is insufficient, inasmuch
that it does not specify conspiracy !;
that none of the defendants have at
tempted to carry out any conspiracy /;
that they had no guilty knowledge as
to the falsity or incorrectness of the
surveys; that the first count does not
charge that fraud was contemplated !;
and that the Surveyor General had no
authority to allow fraudulent claim.

NORTHEY WARNED
Not to give Evidence Before she
Grand Jury.

SAN Francisco, August 4--The
case of the people VS.. Robt. F. Nor
row, indicted by the grand jury for
having been implicated in an attempt
to bribe jurors in the case of Wright
vs.. the Sutter Street Railroad Com
pany, has been assigned by the pre-
siding Judge Coffey to Judge Sulli-
vans court for trial. Just when the
case will come up cannot now be
stated, but the impression prevails
that it will be among the early cases
tried in that department. AT the last
meeting of the grand jury Frank
father appeared before that
body and in addition to telling what
he knew about the bribery business
and those implicated therein, volun-
teered the information that his sons
life had been threatened if he should
go before the grand jury and tell the
truth regarding the connection of GER
tain persons with that affair. Who
the persons were who made the
threats could not be ascertained.

An Ex.ChicOam I'm Trouble with
the Insurance COmPa mics.

the Insurance Companies.
CHICO, August 4.-Letters received
here to-day prove beyond doubt that
H. G. Jacques, the mention of whose
arrest at Chicago for the burning Of
his warehouse at Poseyville, Ind, was
made not long ago, is none other than
H. G. Field, former merchant of this
city. His store was destroyed by fire
early in 1885, and the insurance on
his stock here was attached by his
San Francisco creditors. After the
fire he turned his claim for said insur-
ance over to a cousin residing near
here, who had advanced him money,
as he said, and the matter is now
pending in the California Supreme
Court. The letter referred to is from
Jacques, alias Field, himself, and re-
fers to this matter of insurance. In it
he states that he is held on charge
of perjury, which his lawyer says he
can squash.
